Spreading the Blame Paper Thin

Spreading the Blame Paper Thin – (via Instapundit) The 105th Congress is days away from adjourning, and effectively disbanding, as some won’t be back. Cynthia McKinney puts it thusly: "Mr. Speaker, as you know, I recently suffered a setback in my bid for reelection."

Since this ”setback,” which some might call ”defeat,” Ms. McKinney has flung and shoveled blame in nearly every direction: "To sum up, Ms. McKinney and her father blame their defeats on Republicans, Democrats, J-E-W-S, black folks, Klansmen, and the Governor of Georgia."

As if that weren’t enough (and don’t you think it should be?), there’s more room on the Roll of Blame. That frontier is vast when your name is McKinney: "However, there were some alarming things about the campaign to defeat me that I think my colleagues of both parties should look out for. I am not talking about the Republicans who crossed over to vote for my opponent, but the heavy involvement of Indians in the primary."

Indians. Republicans, Democrats, J-E-W-S, black folks, Klansmen, the Governor of Georgia, and Indians combined to defeat Cynthia and Billy McKinney.

Isn’t democracy an amazing thing?
